**Chanukah**
12/13/2022
the primrose sin of long unwaxing days
hours religious as a dreidel
in near earth orbit
we pluck dry flowers
like flirting genesis
like writing the noon-day Bible
and dispel a magic
we’d long forgotten wrote.
Light the candles, flames so bright
Chanukah's here eight days and nights
Spin the dreidel 'round and 'round
Potato latkes frying, yummy sounds
A few coins for the kinder
Precious silver gelt
Chanukah's a minor festival
~ deeply felt
Tonight we light the candles
When the holiday begins,
As the latkes fry in oil
And the dreidel quickly spins.
We’ll try to block out hatred,
Often aimed to harm or scare
As the world keeps moving onward,
In most cases, unaware.
It’s impossible to fathom
So much loathing and for what?
Yet we’ll watch the candles glowing
And be glad for what we’ve got.
Happy Thanksgivukkah!
Latkes and turkey!
Protocol here is
A little bit murky.
It hasn't happened
For thousands of years
And we'll all be dead
Before it reappears.
So watch all your football
And spin your best dreidel.
Slurp up that pumpkin soup
With some kneidel.
Savor these holidays;
Celebrate twice,
'Cause having Thanksgivukkah's
'Specially nice!
A happy minor holiday
That's what Chanukah was
'Till its proximity to Christmas
gave it an American buzz
In days of old, we lit the candles
Spun the dreidel** for mere pennies --
Now with ceremonies in the public square
and lavish presents, oh-so-many
Chanukah's theme of dedication
~ Does there remain any?
** a dreidel is Yiddish for a spinning top
When Christmas music blasts in stores,
It jangles all my nerves.
I really do not understand
The purpose that it serves.
Such gaiety seems forced and fake,
Especially to me,
‘Cause I’m not one to celebrate
With wreath or Christmas tree.
But recently inside a shop
The dreidel song did blare.
You’d think I’d be excited
By a happening so rare.
However, you’d be wrong
For the reaction that I had
Was that songs of Chanukah, in stores,
Sound equally as bad!
